Yeah, but not all the characters on any show were hooking up with each other outside of soap opera stuff. There was still an idea that two of them will end up falling in love. Why does that need to be part of the show at all? Let them all have partners outside of work.
Don’t you think people also might and want shows that don’t have those things? I really don’t think a single show where there is a mixed gender cast and no one ever ends up in bed with anyone else is going too far.
Great idea. I would love a prominent TV show to have main characters of the opposite sex that are good friends and a romance is never shoehorned into it at any point.
A prominent TV show.
As in one. Singular.
So I’m not sure where you have gotten it into your head that I want no romance at all in media.

These days you’ll get romance with characters of the same sex too, detracting. If you only look at the main characters, maybe. But a show without romance at all? No.

Since you need this re-clarified for you, I’ll do it a fourth time:
I am talking about the main characters of a single TV show and, since you need further clarification, main characters of a single TV show who are both heterosexual and opposite genders who have no romantic feelings toward each other,
Do I need to be even clearer?
As for your suggestion that queer romance is as commonplace as heterosexual romance on TV now, that’s just laughably untrue.

Romance sells. Will they won’t they sells. Sex appeal sells.
It might seem cheap to you, but people do want and enjoy that kind of content.

I’m sure some exist, but you’re an exception in not wanting that at all; most people want sex appeal and some romance.
Sex is an intrinsic part of being human and influences a lot of our decisions, it’s only natural for it to be in our media.
